Simba Soft Muslin Bedding Set reviewed

The Simba Soft Muslin Bedding Set is a duvet cover and two pillowcases in light, crinkled cotton muslin, sold in double, king and super king from £179. It is the softest-feeling and most casual set in Simba’s range, and all 11 buyer reviews of the muslin line give it five stars.

The fabric

Muslin is a loosely woven cotton, one thread over and one under, which lets air and heat pass through easily. Simba uses 160gsm cotton and washes the finished fabric to set its crinkled texture, which softens further with every wash and needs no ironing. It is the most casual-looking fabric in the range. The bedding is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, the label for textiles tested against more than 1,000 harmful substances, and it is dyed, cut and sewn by the Costa family in Guimarães, Portugal.

Both the cover and the pillowcases close with coconut shell buttons. The covers are cut to the same four sizes as Simba’s own duvets, so a Simba Hybrid Duvet fills them edge to edge. The washed, crinkled finish is deliberate, so muslin never looks creased in the way that percale does. It comes in four neutrals: Soft Oat, Pure White, Cloud Grey and Sage Green.

Sizes and prices

Prices were checked on simbasleep.com on 15 October 2026, and every colour costs the same. Bought separately, a double cover and pillowcase pair would cost £184, £5 more than the set. Delivery is free and next day for orders before 1pm.

Washing and care

Simba’s care label says wash with similar colours on a regular cycle and tumble dry on low with wool dryer balls, with no bleach, iron or dry cleaning. Each wash adds to the crinkle and the softness, and the thin fabric dries faster than heavier cotton. Washing the cover and pillowcases together keeps their colours matched as they age.

Who it suits

We recommend this set if you like a soft, relaxed, layered bed and run warm, because the loose weave lets heat escape. The NHS sleep advice recommends a cool bedroom, and muslin’s open weave suits warm nights. It costs more than cotton percale or Egyptian cotton, there is no single size, and the colour choice is limited to four. Simba’s returns page allows 30 days to return unused bedding.
